Saturday we had pizza. I make a Detroit style pizza which we settled on as being our favorite. I use the crust and sauce recipes from the link. The sauce makes 4-5 pizzas worth so I freeze the extra. I mix the dough by hand, in the Kitchen Aid, or in the bread machine, and it turns out great no matter which I use. I also made two small salads. Neither one of us was hungry that evening and just had a snack.
Sunday was clean out the fridge day. We had leftover potato soup and crackers for dinner (lunch). Supper was the leftover pizza from Saturday.
Monday I needed to cook. I tried a new to me recipe for Mongolian beef which did not impress W. I divided the leftovers into single serve portion and froze them for me to eat later. Our evening meal was Loaded Chicken Salad. I had a pack of chicken thighs in the freezer so this was a good way to use them up. We ate it on leftover hamburger buns and had chips on the side.
Tuesday we had sandwiches when we came in from running errands. I try to have something on hand to eat soon after we walk in the door. It prevents temptation to stop at a fast food place or grab something extra at the grocery store. Supper (dinner) was an "on your own" type of meal.
Wednesday I put Brunswick stew in the slow cooker. We ate it with crackers. For supper I had a snacky plate of cheese, vegetables and ranch. W ate a ham sandwich.
Thursday was leftover Brunswick stew. I also put two containers in the freezer for future meals. W had a sandwich for supper. I ate another snacky plate.
Friday I took some taco seasoned chicken out of the freezer. I like nachos while W prefers to eat it as tacos. Supper was snacky again. We have gotten out of the habit of eating a big supper/dinner. I guess it really shows this week.

Every times I freeze leftover dough it doesn't seem as good as fresh. I put the dough in a Ziploc bag with a little oil and defrost overnight in the fridge. Should I mix the dough and freeze without proofing?
